We leave you in pieces. Flat ones.

Oops!

“And the ground is really sticky.”

And then he stepped on the LEGO factory.

Apparently English is the universal language of “we come in peace” signs.

Well, we all know there’s no intelligent life down there….

Great. First, the Corona virus and now we’re toe jam.

A reversal of an Outer Limits episode!

“Wait! I think I hear a Who!”

Is that Winky’s brother getting his spleen squished?

From the planet of the Giant Godzilla creatures.

Third eye blind?

Small minds…

This reminds me of a STNG episode where the Enterprise visits a planet engaged in terraforming. After a time they find out that the planet, which was supposed to be void of all life, did in fact have life, but of microbe size.

This reminds me of a thoughtful article I read years ago. How would we recognize intelligent life if it was sufficiently different from us? And how would aliens landing on earth recognize we were intelligent? I mean, we build cities. So do ants and termites, etc.

I’d be interested in a scientific appraisal of this joke.

Better alien recon could have avoided this type of encounter.

“For thousands more years the mighty starships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the planet Earth—where, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog.”

You’re going to need a bigger planet.

“it’s not so much inhibited as infested.” Hope they aren’t from the planet Orkin.

Aw, they already have a crush on humans.

My family once visited a swamp that we were told was full of frogs, but we didn’t recognize them right away. I was the first to realize they could be tiny. Sure enough, the bug-sized purple things were leaping around….

The eyes have it!

♫ Yes! we’re star trekkin across the universewe don’t mind going forward cause we can’t find reverse..KKirk: We come in peace, shot to kill♫♫♫♫

Sometime in early 2021…

Now I wonder how many “microscopic” beings I may have crushed beneath my heel

The possibilities are infinite. Already been here? Stonehenge. Teotihuacan, Nazca lines, that cathedral dome in Florence….
